20.12.2016

Hemp arbolit used for thermal insulation of walls and roof received a classification indicating the possibility of holding a long exposure to an open flame, as well as blocking its further spread, with extremely low smoke generation and zero emission flaming droplets or particles.

Hempcrete French manufacturers have tested their products to the ability to resist an open flame. As a result, a series of experiments found that hemp arbolit able to resist an open flame for a long time, but also to limit its further spread.

The first official test for the ability to withstand hempcrete unexposed based LNE lab were conducted in France, officially accredited under the COFRAC.

Manufacturer of hemp arbolita ordered conducting standard tests to demonstrate the ability hempcrete produced by the company to perform its basic functions despite a long period of fire exposure, while maintaining their effectiveness. flammability, flame spread, heat release, the ability to produce the smoke generation substance emissions of flaming droplets or particles hempcrete - During the experiments different criteria test materials were investigated.

According to the manufacturer confirming testing group produces "The result exceeded the expected, opening the way for the free sale hempcrete on the construction market in France."
